Chapter 224: The Disaster Brought by the Golden Lock
Chapter 224: Disaster Brought by the Golden Lock
Gu Ming married Yang Meixiu, and her son came to the Gu Family and was renamed Gu Xing. Gu Xing increasingly resembled Gu Ming, and no one believed Yang Meixiu’s claim that Gu Xing was the posthumous child of her former husband.
Whispers gradually reached Gu Dongxing’s ears, and he learned the reason his parents were no longer together: his father had betrayed his mother.
Gu Ming found a way to be transferred to the G City military area.
In this new place, without familiar eyes watching from behind, Yang Meiyin showed her true colors.
Of course, her true colors she did not show in front of Gu Ming but instead showed to Gu Dongxing when Gu Ming was not around, starting to secretly make life difficult for Gu Dongxing.
The year after Yang Meiyin married Gu Ming, she gave birth to another son named Gu Chen. Gu Ming took care of Gu Chen even more and could not pay as much attention to Gu Dongxing, who ran away from home at the age of seven.
Half a month after Gu Dongxing drifted away, he was found by Gu Ming. He did not want to return to a home where he felt he was superfluous. Gu Ming sent him back to his mother.
When Gu Dongxing returned to his mother’s side, he discovered he had a sister seven years younger than him, conceived when his parents divorced.
At the age of fifteen, Gu Dongxing enlisted in the military to protect his mother and sister. He was very determined in everything he did, achieved many commendations, and was promoted from platoon leader to battalion commander during the counter-strike war against Country Y. However, for some unknown reason, he later left the military to go into business.
Gu Xing was less than a year younger than Gu Dongxing and is currently in business.
Yang Meixiu’s younger son, Gu Chen, is nineteen years old this year. He has also enlisted in the army and is currently a platoon leader.
The reason Mrs. Gu Hai Xue doesn’t like jewelry is because it was because of a piece of jewelry that her overseas connections were exposed. And it was these overseas connections that led to her divorce from Gu Ming.
Gu Dongxing said somberly, "That piece of jewelry is a delicately handcrafted golden lock, very exquisite. However, it is engraved with my mother’s family crest, a symbol of my mother’s identity."
Having said this, Gu Dongxing glanced at Jiang Mengyu, "This family is the Ou Family from Xiangjiang, which is quite famous."
Xiangjiang, the Ou Family?
Jiang Mengyu was also somewhat surprised. Back when she was Ah Piao in her previous life, accompanying Huaiyu, she had heard about this family. It indeed was a very ancient and mysterious family.
However, it was said that the members of the Ou Family rarely ventured outside, and if they did, it was typically the business-minded younger generation.
Unexpectedly, Gu Dongxing’s mother was from the mysterious Ou Family.
"In fact, my mother lost touch with her family during the chaos of war at a very young age and had almost no contact with them. Yet, because of a golden lock, she was identified as having overseas connections and was purged from the troops for concealing this fact."
Jiang Mengyu thought to herself contemptuously: Even if she was purged from the troops, there was no need for a divorce. Probably, Gu Ming himself wanted to divorce and marry Yang Meiyin, right?
Jiang Mengyu found it strange: "Your mother’s jewelry was a golden lock, which logically should not have been worn openly. So, who discovered your mother’s golden lock?"
Speaking of this, Gu Dongxing’s expression was full of fierce resentment: "Although the one who exposed my mother was a soldier from the Cultural Troupe, I am certain she was instructed by Yang Meiyin. Because back then, she was close to my mom, and she was the only one who knew about that golden lock. My mom suspected Yang Meiyin too, but shortly after that little performer exposed my mom, she died in a car accident during an assignment."
Jiang Mengyu’s heart stirred: "Could it have been a silencing?"
Gu Dongxing nodded: "That’s what I suspect too, but at that time, I wasn’t even six years old and was still naive. By the time I became more understanding, too much time had passed, and it was impossible to investigate."
